After hearing the information provided by the Third Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince, Lin Bai's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Except for the Qitian Sect who was persuaded to come back by him, and the Wansheng Mountain who had not yet left the Chu Kingdom, the other sects and families in the Eastern Region had already embarked on their return journey, but they did not expect that they would all be in trouble. Naturally, this included several friends around Lin Bai, including Meng Qinxian, the saint of the Fantian Sect, Yi Heze, the saint of the Dingtian Sword Sect, Lu Qingjun, the saint of Qijue City, Nie Shang, the saint of the Heaven-Watching Sect, and Xingzong. Saint Mo Nan, Saint Yue Zong
Female Li Xuanqiu and others.
"When I came back, I met Jiang Yu, the holy son of Shanhai Sect, who was leaving. He told me a piece of news."
"I think it should be useful."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince both raised their heads and looked at Lin Bai in confusion.
"what news?"
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said to the two princes: "After the Shanhaizong left the imperial capital, they also discovered what happened in the imperial capital. They wanted to go up to help...perhaps they wanted to go up and join in the fun."
"But they were stopped by the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army, and they were ordered to leave."
"But Jiang Yu, the holy son of the Shanhai Sect, told me categorically... Although they didn't know what happened, he said he smelled Xiaoyao San, one of the seventy-five king poisons in the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were both stunned when they heard this.
His Royal Highness, in particular, immediately pointed the finger at the third prince.
The third prince looked speechless and shrugged: "Prince, don't look at me like that. This matter has nothing to do with me."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes were cold and he said: "Brother Three Emperors, it's best that it has nothing to do with you. This matter has caused an earth-shattering commotion. In the near future, the heads of the major sects and families in the Eastern Region will gather in the imperial capital to ask us for help. "
"If it is found that this matter is related to you, I am afraid that even my father will not be able to protect you."
The third prince's face turned cold. He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not being alarmist.
Kidnapping and kidnapping the ancestors of the Holy Son of the Dongyu family and sect, and massacring the core disciples of the Dongyu family and sect. Compared with this, the previous troubles in the imperial capital can only be regarded as trivial troubles.
Saints and saints from major sects and families have disappeared en masse. The Chu State can still hide the news now, but it will not be long before this matter spreads throughout the Eastern Territory.
If the Chu State has not found a way to deal with it by then, I am afraid that by then the heads of the major families and sects in the Eastern Region will bring their experts and personally come to the Chu State to ask for people.
It might even trigger a war between realms.
But if Lin Bai thought about it carefully, although the third prince was cunning and cunning, and would do anything to achieve his goals, he was not a fool.
He was very measured in what he did. Even if he poisoned the eldest prince and the second prince, he only did so within the Chu Kingdom and never endangered sects and families in other territories.
It is unlikely that the third prince is the mastermind of this matter.
Lin Bai said: "Perhaps the key to solving this problem is Xiaoyaosan."
His Highness the Crown Prince frowned and said, "Insect Valley in Southern Xinjiang left the imperial capital half a month ago, and we have no way of confronting them now."
The third prince sneered twice: "No wonder Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley left in such a hurry. Almost all the families and sects who came to celebrate their birthdays were the first to leave. It seems that they had already expected that something would happen in the imperial capital."
Lin Bai said: "In the imperial capital, there is not only Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley who can refine Xiaoyao Powder, but there is also a person..."
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince heard this, their eyes suddenly froze.
Obviously, both of them have already thought of it.
Xia Jingzhi, once an abandoned disciple of Nanjiang Worm Valley, was actually the secret agent secretly sent by Nanjiang Worm Valley to enter the Chu Kingdom.
He will refine Xiaoyao Powder.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the third prince: "Xia Jingzhi was once yours, do you know about this?"
The third prince said with a gloomy face, "If I had known about it, I would have killed him long ago."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent an order: "Instruct the Zhaoxing Division to interrogate Xia Jingzhi overnight. No matter what method is used, we must obtain his memory and all the news about this matter!"
"Let's see if he refined Xiaoyao Powder for those people."
Lin Bai and the third prince both nodded.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at a loss and shook his head and said: "So far, we have not determined who is responsible."
The third prince said: "Yes, according to the investigation of the Zhaoxing Division, although the Northern Territory Mission has a large number of people, they are all under the strict supervision of the Zhaoxing Division, and it is impossible for them to do such a big thing."
"I think there's only one possibility."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked: "Do you think it was the Nine Nether Demon Palace that did it?"
The third prince said: "To be able to mobilize so many people in a short period of time, and to have the courage to provoke the top sects and families in the Eastern Region. Apart from them, I really don't know anyone else in the Eastern Region who has such courage."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "I will attack to see my father and report the matter to him."
"Brother Third Emperor, go catch some tongues from the Nine Nether Demon Palace and ask them to see if you can find out anything fishy!"
The third prince nodded and agreed.
His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes fell on Lin Bai at this moment. His eyes were a little evasive and he hesitated to speak.
He always felt that since he became the prince, his relationship with Lin Bai had unknowingly become more distant.
Perhaps it was also because he learned about the royal family's treatment of Lin Bai that he didn't know how to face Lin Bai.
"Why!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed secretly and said to Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, please go back to the palace to rest first. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately."
Lin Bai nodded, without saying anything more, and left Prince Chen's Mansion with the third prince.
After walking out of the palace, the third prince's chariot was already parked at the door.
"Master Langhou, let me give you a ride."
"That's fine."
Lin Bai and the third prince boarded the chariot at the same time, and the chariot with the royal emblem on it walked through the long streets of the imperial capital, and no one dared to stop it.
The warriors on the street saw the chariot coming early and immediately ducked aside.
"You didn't expect that I would actually work with my former rival, His Highness Prince Chen?"
The third prince said to Lin Bai with a smile.
Lin Bai nodded and said: "I really didn't expect it. What's more, what I didn't expect is... you killed the eldest prince and the second prince, and Emperor Chu actually didn't execute you after learning the truth."
The third prince smiled bitterly: "If he wanted to kill me, maybe he would have done it when the eldest prince died."
Lin Bai smiled and remained silent.
The third prince sighed: "This is the royal family, or in other words, this is the royal family of Chu!"
Lin Bai asked: "How do you say this?"
The third prince smiled and said: "The seizure of the heir by Chu State is a matter of great concern in the Demon Realm. Every time the Emperor Chu's 10,000th birthday is also the most concerned thing among the warriors in the Demon Realm, because it represents the transfer of power in the Chu State."
"All families and sects want to seize this delicate and critical moment to make trouble."
"And the royal family of Chu State also understands very well that many people in the demon world are eyeing Chu State, this piece of waste, so the choice of every Chu Emperor is extremely important."
The third prince raised the curtain of the car and said: "There is a rule in the royal family. There is no distinction between enemies on the way to seize the legitimate son. Once he withdraws from seizing the legitimate son, no prince is allowed to suppress him on his own."
"At the same time, the prince who withdraws from the throne, unless the prince is deposed by the ancestor, must not have second thoughts, otherwise he will be killed by the ancestor!"
"This is why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to believe me even though we are my enemies!" "The rules of the royal family of Chu State are very strange, aren't they?"
